Renewing SSL Certificate

I am running SBS 2003 with self signed SSL certificate which was created when
the SBS was originally installed. It expired, which will prevent me from
running outlook anywhere for example.

Is there a way to extend the date on the self signed certificate without
going and buying it from an vendor?

Re-run the CEICW and generate a new one.

You cannot extend certificate validity periods.

You can generate a new certificate (and go through whatever hassle to
get it trusted wherever you need it to be trusted), or you can buy a
trusted certificate (for upto 10 years), and not have to bugger about
(beyond installing the certificate on the server).

I used to stick with the self-signed certificates. With the plethora of
devices in use today, I now use trusted certificates. In the overall
scheme of things, it just works out much cheaper.
